Hi Doc, and thanks for your message on my talk page. Yes, that is the right way to communicate with other editors. You should, however, "sign" your posts on talk pages by adding our tildes (~ this symbol) at the end. What did you want to get in touch about? You can reply either here or on my talk page. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 23:41, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I'm doing some research into the 2014 sydney siege page and came across your edits. Is there a way to direct message you? Doctor 17 (talk)

I attended the wikipedia edit-a-thon at Sydney Uni library on March 28 and hope to attend the wikibomb followup on May 4. Is it possible you are involved with either of those? Doctor 17 (talk)

Hi Doc, no I'm not in Sydney so am not involved in those. In terms of direct messages, if you have an email address connected to your wikipedia account (see WP:ENABLEEMAIL) you can email me using this link Special:EmailUser/Melcous. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 13:31, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

2014 Sydney hostage crisis, vaguely remember that one. That was a breaking news article that evolved into an actual article. That was just written organically as it was happening so don't know if anything new can be added to research. Maybe wait for next live event like French elections or UK one. Disasters/attack are most dynamic due to chaos/confusion. Barely remembered that event, honestly. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 10:42, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Shhhhwwww!! for responding. I wanted to talk to you because you created the page. Can I ask if you are in Australia and whether you have created these breaking news kind of events before? The reason this one interests me for research is because I am in Sydney and remember it so clearly. Can i email you?

Never been to Australia, even in the airport. Yes, mostly breaking news edits. Emails... bit iffy. Can't decide for privacy issues. Have to decide later. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 11:02, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I understand about privacy. Can I at least ask what country you were in when you started the page? @User:Doctor 17 setuped the email feature. Now open to questions. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 21:48, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

You can email the questions. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 21:38, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, did not get the email. Where? What? Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 20:12, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:Doctor 17/sandbox

Hello, Doctor 17. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. G13 account of Linguist111 (talk) 10:01, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Bhutan and other things....

Ok, you can stick this text {{User WikiProject Bhutan}} on your userpage. The wikiproject discussion page is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bhutan. Feel free to drop them a note.

Now, take a look at Wikipedia:Did you know - this is what goes on the bottom left corner of the front page and attracts some interest. I've done loads of these. I'll see what Bhutan-related fauna or flora I can expand. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:51, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

thanks Cas, much appreciated. Doctor 17 (talk) 00:29, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

PS: the wiki-etiquette way to make replies more readable is to indent as I just did to your post. Did you take photos while there? If so, uploading them to commons would be really cool...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:25, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

will do, on both counts. Doctor 17 (talk) 00:09, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Now, as I did this, the article will appear on the front page some time soon. You'll be notified when it does....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:28, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Sydney meetup

Hi Doctor 17. I'm contacting you because I understand you attended the most recent Sydney meetup in January. I'm a Wikimedian from Perth, and a member of the Perth meetup group. I will be visiting Sydney on the weekend of 26-27 May, and I'm interested in organising a meetup. Are you available to attend? I'm assuming that the preferred time would be the Saturday evening (26 May), but I could also make it earlier in the day, or on the Sunday during the day. If there's enough interest, I'll create a new page and ping a few other Sydney-based editors. Bahnfrend (talk) 12:44, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

sounds great. I"M in. :)

DYK for Membartsho

On 15 May 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Membartsho, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that enlightened individuals can supposedly see a temple at the bottom of the Burning Lake (pictured) in Bhutan? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Membartsho. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Membartsho), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Response about wikiproject Bhutan

Hi Doctor 17, Sorry for responding late I saw your question on my talk page now (I am basically retired now). I was active in the beginning days of the wikiproject, as far as the wikiproject in its current state it is inactive as you might have noticed. But some members are still active on Wikipedia if you look at each person in the member list some still are maintaining Bhutanese articles (looks like superkirby and Chris flynn are the last, Impro is active but on Russian Wikipedia). Unfortunately that is the current state of the Wikiproject but seeing as you already have a DYK you seem to be doing well without it. Spongie555 (talk) 08:18, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
